I would like to extend an Invitation to each of you and your families to attend The 35th Annual Czech-Slovak Festival and the 20th Miss Czech-Slovak Wisconsin Pageant that will be held 15, 16 & 17, June 2018.

As prior queens and princesses, I am interested to hearing from you. This is also the time to start getting queen pageant candidates. We need your help if we are to keep the Pageant alive! As Prior Queens and royalty, you are the best resource to talk about the pageant to other young ladies in your schools, families, work spaces and Ethnic clubs, etc. All of the information and the application are on the web site. http://www.Czech-Slovak-Festival.com/ Please talk to interested young ladies and encourage them to participate in our Pageant.

I am very proud of our pageant. We have a reputation as one of the best pageants in the USA. We are fortunate that the National US Czech Slovak Queen comes to our pageant every year. It will continue to grow only with your help.

Again this year we will have Music and Dancing - State Kolacky Baking Contest - Ethnic Food - Polka Mass/Service-Beer Garden - Antique Farm Equipment - Children Activities, along with all of the venders. Fun-Fun-Fun

The candidates start practice at 2:00 p.m. on Friday followed at 5:30 p.m. by the Queen’s Reception and at 7 p.m. Lidice Memorial Service. Sat. 9 am-noon is the Pageant, Catholic Mass at 4:30, Queen’s Dinner at 5:45 followed by the Beer Garden Music and dancing at the VFW. Sun. the Pageant begins on stage at 1:30. We provide a hotel room and food for the Queen candidates from out of the area starting on Friday through the full weekend. Please encourage anyone interested to look at the website and to give me a call.

I look forward to hearing from each of you. I hope that you will be present at the festival this year. We are looking forward to celebrating the 20th Queen Pageant this year. The pageant Committee hopes all of the prior queens will attend the celebration. Those attending will be able to take home their portraits as we will be displaying a smaller version of the portraits in the future.

It would also be very special to have all of the queens and princesses lined up on stage to introduce themselves in the beginning of the Sunday Awards program. We are still trying to contact as many people as possible as we have lost contact with some of the prior royalty. If you can help please let me know. We hope that you will save that date to attend to help us celebrate 20 years!
